Before I started ntfs-3g, I intentionally made mkntfs compatible to FORMAT
basically on the bit level to facilitate and speedup a reliable driver
development. There isn't difference if you use FORMAT on Windows or mkntfs
on Linux. So no, nobody reported such problem so far and mkntfs is fairly
often used in many different ways.
Perhaps you didn't set the partition type to NTFS, thus Windows ignores it
completely?
